what is the difference between 4 wheel drive and all wheel drive?

1 Answer

A vehicle that is able to be switched from 2WD to 4WD then 4WD
Low with the flick of a switch or the movement of a lever is a true 4X4.
An AWD is a vehicle that is uses all 4 wheels to drive the vehicle,
most of these today use computer controls or vicious drives to
accomplish this task, but there are a few out there that do have an
honest 4X4 low selector lever. Hope this helped.
